Ross Akselrad

Many DJs belong to industry networking groups like ILEA, NACE, and MPI – and those are certainly great places to get referrals and bring in business. However, many of your competitors are there as well, so you may be one of a dozen or so DJ companies in any of those groups. So, how do you avoid getting lost in the shuffle of competition? Where do you go if you want to stand away from the crowd, but still have access to unique business opportunities?  

Mobile vet Ross Akselrad of Philly’s Pulse Entertainment has the answers. In his tutorial, he’ll teach you how to open your horizons to other networking groups and associations that can bring you a ton of business – and you may be the only DJ they have as a member. He’ll not only will give you specific examples, but will also tell you how to find those unique networking opportunities in your area. Get the inside dope – only at DJX.
